No pass rush, worst pair of safeties in the league, aging cornerbacks and linebackers, McClellan looks to be a bust. Things are not looking good on that side of the ball. Management was smart not to resign all these guys because changes will have to be made a numerous positions.

Saints 23, Bears 7 (3rd quarter): The Saints went ahead 23-7 on a 36-yard fieldgoal by Garrett Hartley with 8:03 left in the third quarter. On the previous play theBears lost defensive tackle Nate Collins to an apparent left knee injury.

Trestman may have met his match with Cutler. This could be the first QB that even he can't help. Still throwing the ball up for grabs and throwing off his back foot. Even the catch by Jeffrey is a TD if he just takes that split second, which he had when he stepped up and away from the rush, to set his feet. Gonna be a long year. Shaky offense and even shakier defense does not bode well. Injuries making a thin roster thinner.

Can't even line up right on special teams and then take a holding penalty on a ball that wasn't even returned. I'd say that pretty much sums up this team's performance today. Looked totally unprepared to play from the get go.
